Why would a helicopter fly so low?
That's what they are good at.
Can great white sharks take down helicopters?
They don't. That pic is a fake, a montage.
Can a helicopter fly up to Basecamp on Mount Everest?
The air is too thin at 29,000 feet for helicopters to fly. That is why, when a mountain climber is sick or injured, he must be carried down to a base camp low enough for a helicopter to evacuate him.
Why can't rescue helicopters fly in low air pressure?
I've never heard that. However, helicopters are limited to the altitude that they can hover, which would limit a Rescue helicopter from picking up a stranded mountain climber. In the high altitude, the air is "thinner" which means the air pressure is less. This limits the effiency of the rotor blades. However, usually the first indication of a problem is when a helicopter tries to hover at high altitude and the tail rotor looses it thurst and the helicopter goes into an uncontrolled spin. This was common with the Bell Model 206B. Even though a helicopter may be limited to the altitude at which it can hover, that does not mean it can't fly at that altitude. If a helicopter maintains a high forward air speed, it can still fly over mountains; its only when it stops and hovers that it may have problems.
Is there a sea plane that fly's 8-10 feet over water using ground effect'sif so what is its name?
I think you are thinking of the Russian Ekranoplan, which uses a 'Wing in ground effect' to travel very fast, low over water.
Can a boombox drown out a low-flying airplane or helicopter?
I have found nothing in any search to support that a boombox can drown out a low-flying airplane or helicopter.
Why do planes fly lower over the ocean?
Planes CAN fly lower over water, as water is flat. There are less things to collide with. But usually they DON'T fly lower over water - unless they need to for some other reason, like spotting ships, oil spills or something. At low altitude, the air is thicker and cause more drag, which increases fuel consumption. For longer hauls it's better to be up where air is thinner and easier to travel through.
What is the diffirence maglev train and the hovercraft?
A "maglev" or "magnetic levitation" train is suspended over the magnetically polarized rail. A hovercraft is more like a low-flying helicopter, using fans to blow air down underneath the vehicle. A hovercraft is sometimes known as a "ground effect vehicle", because it compresses air between the ground and the hovercraft. Hovercraft do not require tracks, and are equally able to "fly" over land and water.
Do bees fly over the ocean?
Bees can fly up to 55,000 meters in a two week period. If the ocean is on low tide, they generally do fly over. Eventually dying several miles at sea.
How low can a helicopter go?
with skill as low as a few inches off the ground
How do you get to the expert canoist on Wii sports resort?
The Canoeist is halfway between Fireworks Launching Area 1 and Wedge Island. Start at the fireworks point and fly low over the water until you see the "i" hovering over it.
Could you over charge your RC helicopter?
Most RC mode-3 instances of overuse (letting the voltage drop too low) they will not charge adequately.
